Rep. Marcus Luttrell, R-Texas, has put forth a new bill that aims to enhance national security by requiring the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to report any crimes committed by individuals admitted into the U.S. under the Biden-era immigration policy. The proposed legislation, known as the Criminal Illegal Alien Report Act, seeks to provide Congress with detailed information on criminal activities involving individuals admitted under the Process for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans (CHNV) program.
The CHNV program, initiated during the Biden administration, allowed for the parole of asylum seekers from Venezuela, Cuba, Haiti, and Nicaragua into the United States. While the program was intended to reduce illegal border crossings by land, it did not curb the overall influx of migrants into the country. Notably, the program required beneficiaries to enter the U.S. via air travel and be paroled at designated airport ports of entry.
